Install and assemble with ease

Requiring only a Phillips type screwdriver, this Thunderbolt 3 to 10GbE NIC can be assembled and connected in minutes. It connects easily through a single Thunderbolt 3 port on your computer.

Change up your chassis

The Thunderbolt 3 chassis not only pairs well with the 10GbE NIC--you can swap the NIC out for other PCIe cards, to help support other functionality and performance. With the extra TB3 port and DP output built into the chassis, you will always have the ability to hook up extended displays to effortlessly multitask.

The TB31PCIEX16 and ST10000SPEXI are backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty.

This expansion chassis does not provide full power delivery but will provide 15W of power, resulting in a slow charge to some laptops, such as MacBook Pro. When the dock is connected to your host laptop, a charging icon may appear on your laptop's screen. This is only sufficient enough to charge your laptop in sleep state, and charging will require an extended time period.

5K support can only be achieved using a Thunderbolt 3 5K monitor. DisplayPort 5K monitors will not work with this expansion chassis.

A 4K-capable display is required to achieve 4K x 2K resolution (4K is also known as 4K x 2K).

Certain monitors may be limited to 4K at 30Hz when connecting through DisplayPort. These monitors include the following models: Dell P2715Q, Viewsonic VX2475Smhl-4K, Philips 288P6LJEB, LG 31MU97C-B, Asus PB287Q (these models will need to be set to 4K at 30Hz).

When connecting a display to one of the Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports, a USB-C video adapter might be required depending on the input of your display.
